TO COMPLETE THE
FRONT ST. SUBWAY
(Continued From Page 3)
though the first one-ton slab was lifted
Saturday to test out the mechanism.
The heavy rain of Saturday scarcely
delayed the work on the river wall and
the Stucker Brothers Construction
Company went ahead with the ex
cavation work when the water inter
fered with the concrete operations.
Between the Cumberland Valley and
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
bridges the water collected on the un
paved sections of the wall. Early to
day gai'.gs of men were on the job
placing the concrete blocks. By this
evening the walk will likely be fin
ished between the bridges and it is the
intention of the contractors to con
tinue to Market street.
While another gang continued the
excavations and placed stringers on
the stretch between Market and Wal
nut streets to-day a third gang began
the actual construction of the steps
above Calmer street, the northern edge
of Hardscrabble.
To Finish Before Cold Weather
"Hurrying? Of course we're hurry
ing." said one of the officials connected
with the company to-day. "We must
do so, you know, in order to finish the
job to Maclay street this year. Yes,
we would like to get through with it
before cold weather prevents. Late
October or November 1 had been men
tioned as the time, hut it is probable
that the finishing touches will not be
added until December 1."
What is true of the wall and dam
Jobs Is equally the fact on the Paxton
creek interceptor, although the high
water due to heavy rains interferes
with the workmen to some extent. The
great gutter has been finished to a
point a few hundred feet above State
street, however.

HOPE FOR EARLY PASSAGE
Washington, D. C., July 27. The
Interstate trade commission bill, first
measure on the Administration's anti
trust program, was up for discussion
in the Senate again to-day. Anxiety on
the part of both Democratic and Re
publican Senators for adjournment and
the fact that many of the Republicans
have signified their intention not to
delay trust legislation, led Democratic
leaders to-day to hope for the passage
of the trade commission measure with
in the next ten days.

Holland Anxious to
Maintain Neutrality
By Associated Press
The Hague, July 27.—The chief of
the general staff of the Dutch Army
and the minister of marine decided to
cut short their holiday and return to
the capital where active steps are be

tain Holland's neutrality In the event
of war.
Germany Awaits Crisis
in European Tangle
By Associated Press
Berlin, July 27. —Emperor William,
who arrived at Kiel to-day on board
the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, pro
ceeded at once to Potsdam on a spe
cial train. A large crowd gathered at
the Kiel station and as his majesty
departed the people cheered and sang
patriotic songs.
The German Crown Prince arrives
at Potsdam to-night to Join the other
members of the imperial family.
The military element in Germany
clamly awaits the outcome of the in
ternational crisis. It is stated that
no orders have been issued to the army
in this connection and that the custo
mary furloughs to a proportion of the
soldiers in order that they might help
in the field work at their homes dur
ing the harvest have not been inter
rupted.
One of the newspapers prints the
statement that the German high sea
fleet had been ordered to concentrate
in home waters, but the German ad
miralty says no such instructions have
been ieued and that the ships will re
main in Norwegian waters for th<?
present.
By Associated Press
Vienna, July 27. Reports from
Hungary state that Servian troops on
board a steamer on the Danube near
Temes-Kubin, have fired on some Aus
trian troops. The Austrians returned
the fire and an engagement of some
importance ensued. It is considered
probable that this is another version
of yesterday's encounter.
According to yesterday's version, the
encounter occurred near Semendria,
[twenty-four miles southeast of Bel
grade. where some vessels convoying
Austrian infantry were said to have
been fired on from the Servian side
of the Danube And to have returned
the fire.
By Associated Press
Paris, July 27.—The Bourse opened
with a somewhat reassured feeling
owing to the fact that hostilities be
tween Austria-Hungary and Servia
had not actually begun. Parisian Bank
shares recovered slightly but Russian
government bonds were quoted frac
tionally lower.
A wireless dispatch was received
from the French battleship Jean Bart
to-day stating that President Poincare
expected to arrive at Dunkirk at 5
o'clock Wednesday morning. The
French squadron accompanying him
has already passed through the Straits
between Denmark and Sweden and
has arrived in the North Sea.
* By Associated Press
St. Petersburg, July 27. —In spite of
the general unfavorable symptoms in
the situation between Austria-Hungary
and Ser\'ia and of the effect produced
by the arrest in Hungary of Geneial
Radomir Putnlk, chief of the Servian
general staff, a better feeling was no
ticeable here to-day as the result of
yesterday's diplomatic conversations.
It is understood that the long inter
view between Sergius Sazonoff, the
Russian Foreign Minister, and the Aus
trian Ambassador especially was re
sponsible for this improvement of
sentiment.
It is still hoped here that the voice
of Berlin may be heard at the oppor
tune moment in the interest of peace.
Austria Pronounces
Reply Unsatisfactory;
Vienna, July 27. —A communication
issued by the Austro-Hungarian for
eign office to-day sets forth the Aus
trian view of the Servian reply to Aus
tria's note demanding the cessation of
the Pan-Servian agitation and the
punishment 6f those concerned in the
assassination at Sarayevo of Archduke
Francisco Ferdinand and his consort.
The communication also gives the rea
sons for Austria's dissatisfaction with
Servia's reply. It follows:
"The object of the Servian note is to
create the false impression that the
Servian government is prepared in
great measure to comply with our de
mands.
"As a matter of fact, however Ser
via's note is filled with the spirit of
dishonesty which clearly lets It be
seen that Servian government is not
seriously determined to put an end to
the culpable tolerance which it has
extended to Intrigues against the
Austo-Hungarian monarchy.
"The Servian note contains such far
reaching reservations and limitations
not only regarding the general prin
ciples of our action but also in regard
to the individual claims we have put
forth that the concessions actually
made by Servia become insignificant.
"In particular our demand for the

vided on the large open cars.

many violations in the cities and asks

participation of the Austro-Hungary
authorities in investigations to deter

Servian territory has been rejected
while our requests that measures be
taken that sections of Servian press
hostile to Austria have been defeated
and our wish that the Servian govern
ment take the necessary measures to
prevent the dissolved Austro-Probe as
sociations continuing their activity
under another name and under| an
other form has not even been con
sidered.
"Since the claim in the Austrian
note of July 23 regard being had to
the attitude hitherto adopted by Scr
via, represent the minimum of what
is necessary for the establishment of
permanent peace with the southeast
ern monarchy, the Servian answer
must be regarded as unsatisfactory.
"That the Servian government it
self is conscious that its note is not
acceptable to us is proved by the cir
cumstance that It proposes at the end
of the note to submit the dispute to
arbitration —an invitation which is
thrown into its proper light by the
fact that three hours before handing
in the note a few minutes before the
expiration of the time limit the mobili
zation of the Servians took place."
It was pointed out here to-day that
Austro-Hungary being a signatory to
the Second Hague convention would
be obliged formally to declare war
but as Servla did not sign that con
vention such declaration might be un
necessary In this instance.
